Hello .
All these symptoms , mentioned by you in the query may be due to allergy and secondary infection ( hives , cold , cough with fever ).
When such patient visit I prescribe Levofloxacin 10 mg / kg body weight .
Also take montelukast syrup 0.2 mg /kg once or twice in day till complete cure .
Deflazacort 6 mg in single dose .
Since all these drugs are prescription drugs so get a prescription from doctor .
Patient will get relief at once ( so steroid should not be given without the consultation of physician ). Once complete relief, stop the drug . if recurrence , again .
Good luck.
